Reviews of this property

We recommend this apartment if you are planning to stay in Athens. It is a functional apartment with everything you might need during your vacations. The couch might not be very comfortable for sleeping though.

I have no words to describe how the host enriched our experience in Athens. We booked two trips/tours with them and the experience was amazing. The host was very warm and charm, made us feel like home. Greeks are incredible, don't miss out the chance to meet them!

The neighborhood is quiet and is at walking distance to Acropolis. We didn't take any transport except for the tours we booked. Also, a convenient grocery is nearby.

We (a family of four) spent three nights in the apartment. Chryssa (from Helena's team) was very helpful in providing transport to the airport and giving all sorts of information. The apartment is clean and spacious enough for four and it is in convenient walking distance to the Acropolis. We also appreciated Helena's photo-books about the Olympics 2004 and about Athens in the past century.

The best hosting!
This lovely 2-room combines the proximity to the center (12 minutes walk of the acropolis) and quiet, which is very rare in Athens. It is bright and fresh (double exposure, two balconies, and air conditioning if necessary in both parts), in a green and quiet area with shops close by.
It is well equipped with oven, microwave, washing machine, coffee machine ...
the availability and kindness of the hosts is unparalleled.
Special mention to Chrissa, who took me to get my son to the airport at two in the morning, and that has made this trip a moment of sharing and friendship.
I have only one desire, to return asap!

We stayed at this lovely appartment one night with my boyfriend, my brother, his wife and their 11 months old baby girl. It was perfectly located for a brief visit of Athens! Very cute and well maintained appartment in a quiet residential area 10-15 minutes to the Acropolis!
We will be back;)

Advantages of this apartment are particularly favorable and quiet location in a residential area near the center. The friendly and helpful landlord and hospitable neighbor made that we quickly felt at home. The landlord to wait half an hour in front of the reception on the first day I found less enjoyable; a text message I had appreciated about delays.
I do not know, the default in Athens but we found the apartment - especially the bathroom - which primitive. Renovated in 2014 is not much notice. Apartment building stairwell eyes and poorly maintained. The terrace turned out - different than I had seen from the description - generally accessible flat roof of the building.

Very good location just South of Acropolis in a neighbourhood full of restaurants and street life. The appartment is rather inexpensive and functional for 2 people.
We used Helena's transfer service from Rafina to the appartment and from the appartment to the airport - and in both cases all was perfect,
Our contact to Helena was excellent and we will use her services again in the future.

If we are honest this apartment was not what we expected.
The decor was very sober as not very dated.
The bank was not to sit on, quite saggy.
The bed was actually a shelf.
The location was decent but very sad .Lots vacancy, dirty and nasty.
Too bad, but this was not for us.

We stayed from June 29 to July 3 in this apartment. We were welcomed by hosts attentive to our needs and available.
The apartment is comfortable, spacious, quiet and comfortable.
Well located in a quiet area and not far from the main sights of Athens. Subway and bus nearby. Bakery and food in the surrounding streets.
Had a good stay. To recommend

Nice little apartment, very functional. At the foot of the hill of Philopapos which is crossed with happiness to get to the Acropolis and center. Three bus to the center close to also. Question home, no complaints, Vassilis, Helena and their friends are available as soon as you need them, including for journeys to the airport. I recommend without hesitation, just as their site seegreece.gr ...
